Jussie Smollett is maintaining his innocence after being indicted on six charges of disorderly conduct. Although his lawyer is arguing for double jeopardy to dismiss the case, the embattled actor/singer gave a paparazzo a different answer when asked about the best defense at the Los Angeles International Airport.
“The truth is the best defense,” Smollett stated. “They know nothing about it.”
Earlier in the conversation, Smollett also declared, “I don’t claim to be innocent. I am innocent.”
Jussie Smollett Pleads Not Guilty To 6 New Disorderly Conduct Charges
Smollett’s lawyer Tina Glandian was with him at the airport, prompting the paparazzo to ask her about the double jeopardy defense. When questioned if she thought it would hold up in court, Glandian gave a blunt answer.
“I do, that’s we filed a motion,” she said.
Smollett has pleaded not guilty to all six disorderly conduct charges, which stem from an alleged hate crime the former Empire star claims was perpetrated against him in Chicago. Investigators later determined he fabricated the story, accusing him of falsifying multiple police reports.
Last year, Smollett was indicted on 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct, but the charges were dropped. A special prosecutor was later put on the case, leading to the latest charges against him.

I hope they do not offer any form of a plea deal, and nail him to the wall. Good luck finding a jury that would find Jussie innocent. Everyone hates him. Idk who hates him more, black people, or white people lol? If two white men were arrested for the hoax crime, Jussie wouldn’t have opened his mouth, and would have allowed them to spend many years in prison. Then, faking such a heinous attack like that is an insult to black American ancestors who had actually faced racism like that. Either way, we all hate Jussie!
I highly, HIGHLY doubt that there would be enough “evidence” to convince any LEO or jury members to convict anyone of the “crime” (other than juicy himself) seeing how it was easy enough to discover that he orchestrated the hoax himself. Nah.
The crime is Jusse faking the incident my dude. Keep up.
The latest edition of Webster’s Dictionary has added this mans picture next to the word… narcissist and better yet, his name as a synonym. What. A. Clown. Doubling down.
Got to give it to him… if you’re gonna lie you go all the way! Take that shit to the grave!
Juicy Smolleyay has that mentally ill look about him. He always looks like he skipped his meds in the morning.
It’s funny how he claimed the perpetrators were white men wearing Maga hats. When the truth was exact opposite, they were black men from Africa.
Lock him up! And then lock up other leftist scum like Antifa!
Antiga isn’t technically leftist. They’re far worse. They are actually fascists/anarchists. They are hoping to overthrow the government and bring about a no government/anarchism style rule of law. They hide behind the idea of being socialist etc, but are far from that. Anyone who will pepper spray you or throw a milkshake on you for having a different point of view, regardless of said point, is a fascist. They are censoring contradictory views thru intimidation and violence. It’s quite ironic. I’m not a leftist or socialist by the way. Those folks are criminals. Straight up.
This fucking clown still tryna claim innocence? It’s over bruh, own up to it.
This retard just doesn’t know when to stop. There’s no Double Jeapardy here, but there will certainly be Double Penetration when he gets to prison.
